Description
This
photograph
is
part
of a
series
of
eight
that
chronicles
the
community-led
construction
of the
Log
Museum
on the
campus
of the
John
C
.
Campbell
Folk
School
in
1926
. The
Brendle
Cabin
from
Clay
County
and the
Caldwell
Cabin
from
Cherokee
County
were
rebuilt
on the
Folk
School
campus
and were
connected
with a
dogtrot
. The
photographs
show
the
process
of
reconstruction
and
laying
the
puncheon
floors
, the
interior
of the
cabin
, and the
annual
celebration
of the "
Old
Folks
Party
"
which
was
held
on the
fourth
of
July
at the
Log
Museum
. The
original
intent
of the
Log
Museum
was to
preserve
the "
old
ways
" and
craft
traditions
of
pioneer
times
; the
hand-hewn
cabins
housed
community-donated
relics
such
as a
loom
,
spinning
wheel
,
butter
churn
,
rifle
,
ceramic
vessels
,
hearth
brooms
, and
farm
implements
. The
Log
Museum
is
a
regionally
significant
structure
because
it
is
considered
one
of the
first
preservation
attempts
of
vanishing
culture
in
Appalachia
. This
series
of
photographs
was
likely
taken
by
Marguerite
Butler
(Bidstrup)
,
who
is
responsible
for
many
photographs
documenting
the
Folk
School's
early
history
.
